The IFM MK5107 T-slot cylinder sensor is a compact solution for detecting piston position in pneumatic cylinders. It provides a practical 0.3 m PUR cable configuration and is designed for direct installation in T-slot cylinders. The sensor supports reliable magnetic detection, high switching performance and industrial machine integration. Its compact housing, visible switching indication and protective functions make it suitable for packaging, handling, assembly and automated production systems requiring dependable cylinder position feedback.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MK5107 is designed for direct mounting in T-slot cylinders and allows convenient sensor positioning. Its compact housing helps fit the sensor into narrow cylinder profiles. The fastening arrangement supports secure placement and adjustment. This simplifies installation during machine assembly. The sensor is suitable for compact pneumatic automation designs.
The sensor provides magnetic position detection with a response sensitivity of 2.8 mT and travel speed above 10 m/s. Its high switching frequency supports rapid repetitive cylinder movements. The switching signal can be used by PLCs and controllers. This enables reliable sequencing of automated pneumatic operations. The design is suitable for demanding production environments.
The MK5107 uses a 0.3 m PUR cable with an M12 connector according to the IFM datasheet. This provides a practical connection for industrial machine wiring. The cable construction supports strain relief around the sensor. The compact connection arrangement is suitable for machine layouts with limited space. It also helps simplify maintenance and replacement.
